Balance-sheet signals

Year-on-year changes in filed balance-sheet items. They can hint at momentum (or investment) but are not revenue or profit and must not be read as such.

Net assets: ▲2%; Now £4.5m
Cash at bank: ▲32%; Now £697k
Headcount: ▲6%; Now 69
Deferred income: ▲20%; Now £445k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £419k

Deferred income is reported together with accruals in this filing (“accruals and deferred income”), so it is an approximate signal only.
